Starts on Saturday in Basque country of Spain. First stage looks like a tough opener and there might be decent time gaps.

GC Podium Prediction:
1) Pogacar
2) Jonas V.
3) Hindley

If healthy, I suspect Pogacar will win. I think he was "out of shape" last year. I've read he is still having trouble with his wrist. Been watching Tour Unchained., I assumed Wout was given the freedom to hunt stage victories. I appears he is a bit of a lone wolf.

Pogi also lost half his team last year before the critical mountain stages had begun.

I forget which stage(s) it was but Jonas lost Roglic and Steven K. Last episode replayed WvA ripping Pogacar to shreds with Jonas in tow. WvA made up for all the "selfishness" that appeared in the first week.

One the last time trial, Jonas told his team he wanted WvA to win the ITT and to let him know if he was ahead. WvA didn't believe it when the PR person told him what Jonas was doing.

Unchained completely ignored Sepp Kuss. That dude was a beast for Jumbo. At full steam, his pace could drop just about anyone who didn't end up on the podium.

I figured he didn't have an agreement with them.

Kuss has really been one of the best domestique riders in the last 3 years on tour. Dude is absolute workhorse

So how is this being broadcast now that NBCsports is gone? They **** around and put it behind a pay wall?

Peacock for everything and USA for most at least for the next week.

Depressing. I have a TV in my office and would make my patients watch the Tour in the morning lol. Peacock has single handedly made it a pain to watch sports I love like soccer, cycling and Olympic comps

Soccer is pretty much the reason I pay for peacock. Getting cycling is a bonus

It was on USA last year too. I think every stage except for maybe 1 was broadcast on cable. The only change was that USA wouldn't replay the stage multiple times throughout the day.

Heres a more definitive list of networks. First one I found was only listing out for a week. Sunday is only peacock

Surely he heard on radio that his teammate was going for the stage. Maybe celebrating for Adam?

Fortunate to have Peacock for this. I miss having it on NBCSN.

Speculation that someone threw nails on the road. Several people having to change bikes with flat tires

Had to have been. That many punctures is no coincidence.

Does the green jersey seem a shade darker that previous years?

Damn that group of 4 totally shafted Vingegaard lol. He did all the work over the last 10km and those other dudes refused to help. Just sat on his ass until the final 200m to pass him up

I mean the Bora rider had no reason to help him. I don't know why Ciccone didn't help. I probably would have just let Jonas burn his matches knowing that the stage was already won.
But once again Sepp Kuss showing how invaluable he is as a domestique for Jumbo.
